The One Thing Study is a simple yet powerful way to encounter the life-changing work of God’s Spirit through His Word. It’s easy to pass on and equips every disciple to read, obey, and share Scripture with others. The process has three steps.
1. Read
Start by reading a passage of Scripture. A passage is a unit of thought in the Bible, often marked by a bold or italicized heading, and may be one or more paragraphs long. A great place to begin is the New Testament—choose a book and read through it from start to finish.
Read with purpose by asking: “Lord, what one word, phrase, or sentence do You want me to meditate on today?"
2. Obey
Ask yourself: “What action can I take in response to what I just read?” Your response could be praise, thanksgiving, confession, or a concrete step of obedience. Remember, Jesus said: “If you love Me, you will obey My commands” (John 14:15).
Mark what stands out—underline, highlight, or circle it—so you can easily return to it for reflection or sharing.
3. Share
Who comes to mind when you think about someone you could encourage by sharing what you discovered? A friend, family member, or someone in your group? Passing on what God shows you strengthens both you and them.
